Do “ACAB means teachers” anarchists know that teachers have made all the criticisms of modern school structures that they’re ineffectually referencing, using language that doesn’t make people immediately dismiss anything they have to say forever

Is there a reason the Dems can’t just run on FDR’s platform (but without all the racism)?

For real, everyone I know should be reading The Grapes of Wrath because it’s a novel about right the fuck now and also about what can be done about it.

It’s been a while since I taught international students, and all I’ve got to say is that the American educational system sucks.

One of the most interesting things I’ve noticed in the shift (or schism) in definitions of masculinity in the last 30 years is how Hal, Bryan Cranston’s character in Malcolm in the Middle, would be called a beta simp by a significant number of men on Twitter. And that is absolutely mind blowing.

I just watched a reel where this gen z trumper argued that healthcare can’t be a right because healthcare requires labor and anything that requires labor can’t be a right… …and I’m pretty sure I heard the blood vessel in my eyeball pop

I don’t give 2 shits about the deficit, but I’m pretty sure “reducing government spending” was the literal reason for creating this shit-stain department to begin with. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

Have you had your passport application put on hold or suspended in the last few weeks because of the executive order from the Trump administration about trans people’s documents. If so I want to talk to you. Email: [email protected] Signal: @SydneyBauer.30

Christians take note: the Pope did not try to defend Christianity from the couchfucker by telling non-Christians he's a fake Christian or even Catholic, but to say he's in error and instruct him on correct theology. Go and do likewise.

Y’all. Lemme explain why this matters and isn’t just a nag. The screenshot shared was this one. People who look like me need to know if we need to stay inside and/or carry our passports. We need ACCURATE information so we can plan. In this case, there’s no source so it can’t be verified.
